[Auto tuning mode]

To tune into a frequency higher than the one indicated, turn the TUNING knob clockwise. To tune into a frequency lower than the one indicated, turn the TUNING knob counterclockwise; release when the frequency indication starts changing. The frequency display changes, and tuning automatically stops when a frequency that can be received is found. To search for another station, turn the TUNING knob once more.

NOTES:

(On auto tuning)

• Because of the high sensitivity of this unit, it may automatically stop even at very weak overseas stations. The same can happen with aggregate radio noise emitted in cities.
• During reception of an AM broadcast, auto tuning of only strong local stations is possible by changing the direction of the loop antenna or folding it down. After tuning, move the loop antenna back to its previous position.
• Tune extremely weak stations with manual tuning.
• If the radio waves of available stereo stations are weaker than a certain level, the auto tuning may not function for these stations.

(When receiving FM broadcasts)

• If there is distortion because the radio signal is too strong, press the RF attenuator (RF ATT) button to light the RF ATT indicator.
• If there is too much noise during reception of an FM stereo broadcast, press the MPX MODE button to light the MONO indicator. Switching to monaural reception results in clearer reception.

The TUNED Indicator

When the TUNED indicator is not lit, reception is not possible even if the tuning frequency is correct. This is because the antenna terminal input is too weak. Check whether the antenna cable is firmly connected. If it is, consult your nearest dealer and install an outdoor antenna.

RDS (Radio Data System)

In the RDS system, FM broadcast stations transmit information such as station name and program type in addition to standard audio signals. This unit receives the following data, displays the three data, RT, PS, PTY, and provides the functions, EON and Program Type Search.

RT (Radio Text) data

A message transmitted from the broadcast station using a maximum of 64 characters.

PS (Program Service Name) data

This refers to the broadcast station name transmitted by an FM broadcast station.

PTY (Program Type) data

This refers to the type of program being broadcast by a particular station at a given time. For details concerning types of PTY data, refer to "The 29 PTY data titles transmitted" on page 16.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks) reception

Function that allows you to set the receiver to switch to a frequency automatically when a program featuring traffic information or news is being broadcast. It cannot be used in areas that EON information is not transmitted and when FM broadcast stations do not transmit PTY data.

When the broadcast ends, it returns to the original frequency.

Program Type Search (PTY Search)

You can select a desired program type, and perform Program Type Search for preset stations broadcasting that kind of program.

NOTE:

An RDS broadcast may be automatically interrupted by an emergency program. During reception of an emergency program, "ALARM" flashes in the display. When reception of the emergency program ends, reception of the program you were listening to before the interruption resumes.

PI (Program Identification)

This information consists of a code enabling the tuner to distinguish between countries or areas in which the same program is transmitted, and the identification of the program itself. The code is not intended for direct display and is assigned to each individual radio program to enable it to be distinguished from all other programs.

- PI code registration and deletion

To use the EON function, receivable RDS stations must be programmed in the tuner.When you program RDS stations in this tuner, PI codes are simultaneously memorized.

When the PI code is programmed and the same program (PI code) is preset using a different frequency, this function will only operate the most recently set station regardless of the reception state.

When presetting new frequencies due to relocation to another area, etc., it is necessary to delete registered PI codes.

To erase PI codes, perform the following procedure.

1. Press the EON button for two seconds or more.
   "ERASE PI" will be displayed.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the MEMORY button.

NOTE:

After erasing PI codes, preset stations once more to make the most of basic RDS performance capabilities.

RDS Data Display

During FM broadcast reception, you can view various kinds of RDS data transmitted by the FM station by performing the procedures below.

1. Turn the STANDBY/ON switch ON.

2. Select FM with the BAND button.

If the received broadcast transmits RDS data, the RDS indicator lights and automatically displays the mode data.

3. Press the DISPLAY MODE button and the display changes.

NOTES:

• If there is noise during RT scroll display when in the RT mode, some characters may temporarily be incorrectly displayed.
• In the RT mode, when no RT data is transmitted, "NO DATA" is displayed. In this case, it will automatically switch to the PS mode after a few seconds.
• During RDS broadcast reception in the PTY mode, "NO TYPE" data may be displayed. In this case, it will automatically switch to the PS mode after a few seconds.
• When RDS data is incorrectly displayed due to reception of an excessively strong signal, and RDS data is incorrectly displayed, use the RF ATT button to achieve the best reception sound. After that, RDS data may be displayed.
• Depending on the broadcast station, numerous program station names (PS) may be transmitted in succession. In this case, when you switch to the RT mode, only some of the PS data will be displayed, so switch to the PS mode.
• When the RDS indicator is not lit, and you are in the RT mode, only station names stored in memory manually, if any, will be displayed.
